Highly Recommend for Serious cases that need detailed attention

Mr. White really listens to your concerns. He is very thorough with every approach that can be taken within your case. He was, in my opinion and situation, very easy to get a call back from when requested. He worked with my DUI that threatened licensures I carry with the best approaches, mindfulness ...of another case I had going on in another county at the time and came up with a very dedicated and absolute plan. I would recommend hiring him for anyone with a serious situation as he will put forth his full dedication to have the best outcome possible. Thank you Sir!

EXCELLENT CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER MOST DEFINITELY!

MR. WHITE REPRESENTED me, in a CRIMINAL DEFENSE capacity, having been ARRESTED, & CHARGED, with a D.U.I. I asked for a REFERRAL from another LAWYER, whom I TRUSTED 100%, but didn't do CRIMINAL DEFENSE! I KNEW he only REFERRED the BEST, & MOST AFFECTIVE LAWYERS with what I, or ANYONE SEEKING, totally ...PROFESSIONAL, very TALENTED, very STRATEGIC, well EDUCATED in their FIELD of LEGAL REPRESENTATION, in my case CRIMINAL DEFENSE, & PROVEN MOST AFFECTIVE, & SUCCESSFUL with what I HAD BEEN ARRESTED & CHARGED WITH! I not only only GOT ALL OF THOSE ATTRIBUTES with ROB WHITE, I RECEIVED SO MUCH MORE! First of all, ROB IS A REAL HUMAN BEING, & UNDERSTOOD EXACTLY, WHAT I WAS GOING THROUGH, & HOW DEVASTATING, & SERIOUS IT WAS TO ME, INDIVIDUALLY! HE POSSESES A GREAT CAPACITY to be VERY EMPATHETIC, & LISTENED ATTENTIVELY, TO EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED FROM HIM, AS MY ATTORNEY, & WAS FULLY PREPARED, TO RESPOND TO ME, EXACTLY WHAT HE INTENDED TO DO, WITH MY INDIVIDUAL SITUATION, & WHAT I HAD BEEN CHARGED & ARRESTED FOR! & QUITE FRANKLY, ROB IS A TOTAL CLASS ACT, IN MANY WAYS, THE WAY IN WHICH HE CARRIES HIMSELF, IN PERSON, & IN THE COURTROOM, IS AN AMAZING THING TO SEE, & ON MY BEHALF, FOR ME! I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE VERY, FORTUNATE, & WAS QUITE RELIEVED, & VERY HAPPY, THAT HE EXECUTED, EXACTLY, WHAT HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO DELIVER FOR MY INDIVIDUAL CASE! IF MR. WHITE SAYS IT, YOU CAN BANK ON IT! I KNOW, HE EMBODIES, THE VERY ESSENCE, OF A CLASSIC COURTROOM LAWYER! HE'S VERY SEASONED, & VERY PREPARED, TO NOT ONLY DELIVER, BUT ACQUIRE, THE VERY BEST OUTCOME FOR HIS CLIENTS, & IN THE END, I WAS IN AWE, & SHOCKED, THAT HE GOT THE CHARGE OF D.U.I. AGAINST ME, DROPPED COMPLETELY, PAYING COURT COSTS, & WALKING OUT OF THERE, INTO A BEAUTIFUL DAY, WITH HIM BESIDE ME! I CANT PROMISE ANYONE, HIRING MR. WHITE, THIS SAME OUTCOME, & HE DIDN'T PROMISE ME THIS OUTCOME, BUT IN MY CASE, I DO THINK JUSTICE WAS SERVED, & IT WAS SERVED FOR ME! WHAT HE DID PROMISE ME, WAS HE WOULD DO HIS VERY BEST TO GET ME, & MY INDIVIDUAL CASE, WITH MY INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES, THE VERY BEST OUTCOME HE COULD GET FOR ME, & HE NOT ONLY EXCEEDED THAT, HE ACHEIVED MUCH MORE, THAT'S WHY I SAID I WAS IN AWE, & SHOCKED THAT HE DID THAT FOR ME!

I am a 58yrold woman who was arrested for DUI , while I was parked at an Exxon trying to get gas. The whole incident was wrong and extremely traumatic. My attorney referred me to Rob White, and within minutes of calling their office I received a return call, was greeted with kindness, and hired him... on the spot. He always took time to talk to me during the 6 months that the police kept saying they didn't have my evidence back, blood work, tapes....nothing. Today the prosecutor agreed to drop all charges and exsponge my record, clear! Just like Rob White had told me it would go ! He is a good person and and amazing attorney ! I felt blessed to have him not only representing me, but to have him truly believe me ...to be on My side ! Rob White is professional, well liked in the courtroom and in the community, and a Good person with such a kind heart . I was never drinking under any influence, but my health problems included fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, thyroid problems, severe high then low BP, anxiety, panic attacks, etc. I knew the police were so wrong, and Mr White believed and protected me. I put my future and reputation in his hands, and he completely restored it to me ! You cannot go wrong by hiring Rob White. I know I will keep his card in my purse, his # on speed dial, and my appreciation for his hard work in my heart !!! Thank you so much !

Best Outcome I Had Hoped For!!

I was charged with a DUI in January. Rob worked hard to get me the best possible outcome. He relentlessly worked on communicating with my arresting county to no avail, as they would not return his phone calls or emails. We went into court blindly due to the county not having it together, however he w...as able to work out the best deal I could have hoped for given my situation. I greatly appreciate what he has done for me and would highly recommend him!

A Lawyer on Your Side!!!

I hired Rob for a DUI case and couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. He got the DUI thrown out because he was knowledgeable enough to know that the prosecutor was showing video we had never seen and thus resulting in a mistrial. I have zero regrets about hiring Rob for my case. He is very profes...sional and if your case does happen to go all the way to trial I think he’s one of the best trial lawyers around!!! Trust me, go with Rob and you will be pleasantly surprised with your outcome! I truly thank him for all his hard work on my case!
